I went back and did a carving I did about 4 and 1/2 months ago . Not quite as much improvement as I was hoping for but Rome wasn't built in a day either . I am making some progress on figuring out the dye thing . 4 1/2 months ago and now .

I should have added that 5 or 7 even 9 braid can be done . ps it's called mystery braid not magic

Look up " magic braid " it's easy and you can do a few inches or the whole belt . I have made 2 but only have a pic of this bracelet .

Nice !

@YinTx Very nice ! Looks like I may need to be less timid on future attempts

Those are very nice and quite unique !

Reverse kind of .......... it's an arrow head not a fish

Real classy work and it sounds like you have been busy .

Very nice indeed !!! I like the quilted look it's just enough .

Welcome aboard !!

Looks like a keeper

I'm back playing with dye , I am sure that I will NEVER get to the quality of those with an airbrush , which is fine . I do want to find a way to fade with dyes and get reasonable results . I have some pigments on order but for now still using Fiebings . Here is my latest attempt , suggestions would be welcome ! Thanks

Thank's Chuck , all good info , I am going to get this figured out . We both may be so old that neither of us can see it though

I'd say post it up , but I probably don't know all the rules What about Show Off section ?

That has got to be the world largest ink pen .

Now see , that is how I want mine to look ! I am gonna keep practicing and if I get one to look like yours as Arnold says " I'll be back "

Thank you !

@spacedog Thank you and I am in the same boat , don't own an airbrush .

@FishEggStew Nice video , I had seen a graphics model of the same thing on a turn table once .

I would love to take some dyeing lessons from you , that is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all !! Like the title says " just for fun " . I will come clean and admit I was through beveling when I took the pics . Like the illusion it's all about prospective , first as an old carpenter I don't see 3 beams at first glance . I see 3 framing squares ( minus the markings ) which in itself is strange as a framing square is 90 degrees , that 90 is a 60 degree corner in the triangle . But whatever one might see to me none of the 3 is in the foreground and yet all are in the foreground . YES I might be loosing it I guess my thinking is no matter what problem you may be looking at there are always 359 more views

He didn't give much info as to what it's on or how out of square , so my mind runs to is there enough room to square the leather to the tracing ? Yea I know it seems obvious that this is a stupid question but .....................................................................

This is a Penrose triangle and for the life of me I don't know where to bevel
